The PROVIDE Climate Risk Dashboard
Overshooting the Paris Agreement temperature thresholds is a distinct possibility. Overshoot scenarios are defined by the IPCC Glossary as pathways that exceed the stabilization level (concentration, forcing, or temperature) before the end of a time horizon of interest (e.g., before 2100) and then decline towards that level by that time. Once the target level is exceeded, removal by sinks of greenhouse gases is required.
The PROVIDE Climate risk dashboard is an online platform providing detailed information on overshoot scenarios and expected impacts and their reversibility, with unique sectoral coverage including extreme events, biodiversity, cryosphere, carbon cycle, marine climate, economic damages, and socio-economic vulnerabilities, among others. The information includes global, national, and city-level modelling results. The dashboard offers innovative approaches to data presentation and a cutting-edge design co-developed in cooperation with stakeholders.
The dashboard includes an overshoot proofing module for adaptation planning which was co-developed together with a diverse group of stakeholders within the PROVIDE project.
Version 3 of the Dashboard was launched in December 2024 and the dashboard will be further developed beyond project end.

About the Project
The 1.5°C Paris Agreement temperature goal provides the benchmark for global climate action to avoid the most devastating impacts of climate change. However, under current trajectories, overshooting (meaning the temporary exceedance of 1.5°C) the Paris temperature thresholds is a distinct possibility. The impacts of such overshoot scenarios would be particularly consequential for vulnerable regions and systems. Here, even in the case of only a temporary exceedance of 1.5°C, thresholds of abrupt and possibly irreversible shifts or adaptation limits may be exceeded. The PROVIDE project aims to deliver information on overshoot scenarios and respective impacts in the context of adaptation through an innovative web tool. You will be able to assess the risks of overshooting systemic thresholds (e.g. glacier melt) from the local to the global level. Moving beyond a limited set of climate scenarios, the PROVIDE approach allows you to make thresholds the starting point for the analysis and adaptation planning.

PROVIDE Webinar: All that we can save
Climate impacts are hitting hard around the world, as communities are struggling to cope with the intensity of flooding, fires and heat. In this webinar, scientists will present new findings on future impacts of climate change we could avoid by reducing our emissions today. There will be a particular focus on heat extremes, species loss, glacier loss and hits to labour productivity. Experts in relevant fields will join a panel discussion to discuss the findings, followed by a Q&A.
